Kelley Asks Congress for FBI Spy Charter Clarity
FBI Director Clarence M. Kelley urged Congress on Wednesday to define a lawful charter for domestic and foreign spy investigations. He spoke to the Los Angeles World Affairs Council noting past hearings have exposed illegal tactics such as burglaries, mail tampering, and unauthorized tapping. The filing highlighted a former supervisor’s prosecution tied to tactics used in the Weather Underground pursuit and signaling that higher government pressure and public fear spurred missteps. Kelley warned against outsourcing intelligence rules and urged explicit guidelines to prevent future improvised policies during crises.
